Senator Elizabeth Warren has released a report detailing what she claims are 130 examples of unethical or potentially corrupt actions by Elon Musk during his time as a Special Government Employee in the Trump administration. The report, which spans 130 days of Musk’s service, highlights numerous instances where government resources and influence were used to benefit Musk’s companies.
According to Warren, these actions resulted in a significant increase in Musk’s net worth by over $100 billion. Many pending enforcement actions against Musk’s companies have been stalled or dismissed, with potential liability exceeding $2.37 billion.
The report includes allegations of:
* Government time and resources being used to promote Musk’s businesses
* Federal agencies entering lucrative contracts for his companies and turning to their services
* Investigations into Musk companies being dropped or foregone penalties that appeared warranted
* Agencies pursuing policy changes that benefit Musk’s companies
* Musk receiving sensitive government information and proprietary data to boost his companies
The report also raises questions about the Trump administration’s handling of foreign aid, immigration policies, and the use of federal enforcement powers. Additionally, it alleges that Musk has used his influence to meddle in political and judicial processes, often at the expense of public interest.
Warren’s report highlights a pattern of corporate influence over government policy, which she says undermines the public interest. The investigation is seen as part of Warren’s broader effort to hold Trump administration officials accountable for their actions during his presidency.
